Junior Year
I transferred from community college to a non-target school and I’m going to begin my junior year in the upcoming fall semester. I am looking to get a finance internship for next summer and want advice to where to go and what to intern in. I have a 3.0 GPA and I have two semesters to bring that up until I apply. I have been looking into analysts or Asset Management internships, but I am open to other options as well. Going to a non-target school I know getting an internship at a BB can be farfetched, but what are other companies I can apply to.
If you can get above a 3.3 gpa by the end of your fall semester, it would be nice. Main recruiting occurs in the fall, so they won't get to see your spring grades unless they are interested in you as a candidate. So your first semester is more important. Aside from the GPA, I would simply note two other aspects: volunteer and leadership role. Unless you have a part time finance related internship, you would rather volunteer for 2months than get paid for doing office related tasks for 4 months. And since you won't be occupied with part time internship, you'll have time to join a club, and run for eBoard or any position that can exemplify and improve your teamwork and communication skills. And with the spare time you have, I would sign up for Excel, perhaps VBA/Macro as well as some financial modelling courses/financial statement analysis is a plus.
